According to DOE spokeswoman, we're good

[Buzz]

In a NY Post article today: "Under contracts with school-bus companies, the nation's largest school system is obligated to pay 85% of the daily fees when schools are shut for snow or other emergencies, if the days are not made up later."

"The DOE plans to keep paying the 85% of fees for mothballed buses, but seek other uses for them."

DOE spokeswoman, Danielle Filson, was quoted in the article today as saying, "This is an ever-changing situation and we intend to honor our contracts and continue to support the bus workforce while exploring ways to utilize these vehicles to serve the city during a crisis".

As long as she's not talking through her ass ... because not even our union has been told this definitely ... we should be okay even after the 20th.
